[olug] Can't boot to 2.6 Kernel

[CM Miller]

Running Knoppix 3.3 on a pc.

I've installed 2.6.3 kernel under /usr/src.

Seemed to install ok, didn't get any error messages.

Checked under /boot and see that it is there and added
the following under /etc/lilo.conf



image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
        label=Linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
        read-only
#       restricted
#       alias=1

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3
        label=Linux2.6
        initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
        read-only 




Reran lilo and when I rebooted, I still get my old
kernel.


root at xanadu:~# uname -a 

Linux xanadu 2.4.22-xfs #1 SMP Fr Okt 3 20:36:25 CEST
2003 i586 GNU/Linux


This is what my /etc/lilo.conf displays


root at xanadu:~# cat lilo_output

Did some googling and seems to be an error with
initrd?  Not familiar with what initrd does?  

How do I create a initrd to be used by 2.6 kernel? 

thanks
